I feel like it's the end of an era with Breaking Bad ending and Mad Men winding down soon as well (although Mad Men is getting the ridiculous BB treatment of having its final season stretched into two years). It was getting into these two shows that convinced me that TV could really be as good or better than the best movies out there. As of now, I'm not sure I see any shows of comparable quality and power out there.

I loved that Grey Matter played a part. I think Elliot and Walt's relationship was a really interesting dynamic and I'm glad they came back to it.

I had a hard time gauging Walt at the end though...was he mad that Jesse is still alive, or that he knows he is being forced to cook for Todd's uncle? Is he pissed at Elliot and Gretchen for what they said? His family for disowning him? So many questions left.

I think Grey Matter was the trigger, but the rest sort of filled in the blanks (like Jesse probably cooking his blue meth as kind of mentioned in a round about way in the broadcast). All his creation again leads to a better life for someone else. Nazis have his money, his life, his student, his creation.

When they came on the screen you knew what was coming. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant writing. It ties in the background storyline for why Walt started becoming who he was. While I think a lot of this season wasn't figured out until later, I think this "line" of Grey Matters triggering the end was the plan from the beginning.
